Fantastic dive center with a lot to offer for all levels of diving. Visiting Cape Town from Ireland, the minute we stepped foot into the place we were greeted by enthusiastic professionals and dealt with Carla through WhatsApp and email (extremely handy visiting from abroad and very generous on what was on offer). Quick responses and easy payment for our booking of 2 days diving (shore and boat diving) and Sea Safari on a third day for 4 of us.
Our pilot for the Sea Safari, Simon, was very friendly and knowledgeable on the species we were observing, knowing how to find them and approach them appropriately. This was a fantastic oppurtunity to view Cape Town from a different perspective on the water, seeing plenty of marine birds and seals aswell as heavy sided dolphins, penguins and sunfish. Certainly a novelty for us.
Our dive instructors, Kevin and Enrico, were very accommodating, experienced and a pleasure to dive with. Even though our group having a range of diving experience, everyone thoroughly enjoyed themselves experiencing new marine species and seascapes which is what it's all about! We were able to do a refresher and dive together as a group!
Would highly recommend diving with Ocean X and if diving isn't your thing then definitely the Sea Safari for some water experience visiting Cape Town.

I had the best day of 2020 so far! What an amazing experience. If I could hop on a speedboat everyday I would. So much fun, giggles and smiles, and made extra special by our very skilled, experienced and super friendly Captain Daniel who had us spinning doughnuts on the ocean and not a splash of water in the boat. Thank you Daniel for driving us safely and for making the experience super fun and exciting. will definitely be back :)

Totally recommended! This trip was a gift given by my girlfriend. Alone the boot trip to the seal islands in Camps Bay was incredible. We have seen sunfish, penguins, dolphins and so much many more. Enrico and Dan are amazing guides, doing their very best to ensure an unforgettable tour. Arriving the snorkeling place, we had around 30min with the seals. They are really curious, so it‘s not only a promise you swim with them close by a meter. Also we wanted to say, that there was never an critical situation. Guides take always care about you. So at the end fantastic 2 hours and worth all the money.
All the best

Very professional dive company, with a group of dive-instructors that take the job seriously but know how to create a fun atmosphere as well. Couldn't ask for a better group of people if you're planning to do a SCUBA course in CPT.
Gear is new and well-maintained, good choice in dive-sites, experience and knowledge of instructors is excellent.

Went for 2 boat dives on "Strawberry Rock" to see the seals and kelp forests. The catamaran which we used was an awesome boat and Jacque, Carla and all the staff were extremely friendly, professional and safety conscious during the entire trip. The equipment that was provided was also relatively new and in excellent condition.

South Africa has great and unappreciated scuba diving. Would love to visit again at some point! Adrenalised did a great job with recommending dive spots, as well as guiding the 4 dives i joined them for.

My husband and I were on a holiday in Capetown and got to know this place via The Lonely Planet. I would highly recommend diving with Adrenalised Diving as the team is very passionate and knowlegdable about the marine life and diving conditions. They have excellent equipment and prepare you very well before the dive.
Everyone was very friendly, funloving and helpfull. We got to dive with cow sharks, which was a very special experience, and got an introduction to the beautiful underwater world of Capetown.
Also this team helped us find equipment for other adrenalised water activities.

My padi guide for the trip was CHLOE who was an absolute gem to work with. From the get go, CHLOE was there to answer all my questions and cater to my every need with regards to this snorkelling with seals experience. Particuarly when I was incredibly motion sick, CHLOE made sure I was okay while maintaining a radiating positivity within our group. It was truly amazing to get up close and personal with these very cute sea animals which are really the puppies of the sea. I reccommend this experience to anyone with an adventurous edge with a love for the animals and the sea. Motion sickness gave me a hard time this round, but it wouldn't stop me trying it again as the team at Ocean Experiences and the experience itself was just too amazing. We went out first thing in the morning and it was a particuarly choppy day. The water was however rather clear which made the seals very visible once we got to our snorkelling destination.

OCEAN SAFARI — OCEAN EXPERIENCES CAPE TOWN, V&A WATERFRONT. Amazing way to see some of the sea life that inhabits our shores. We were lucky enough to see dolphins, seals, penguins and even an elusive sun fish who dived before I could snap a pic. Great views over the city too!

If you feel comfortable in the water then no, the OX team will give you flotation device and be with you the entire time. Should you feel uncomfortable the view and trip from boat are just as magical.
